Jar with Tiger-Headed Spout: Yue Ware

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a ceramic jar with a tiger-headed spout, classified as Yue Ware. The jar is bulbous with a narrow mouth, wider at the top than the bottom; it has two small handles on either side near the top. The spout protrudes from the front of the jar and is shaped like a tiger's head with its mouth open. The jar's body features a mottled greenish-gray glaze with visible scratches and marks. The background of the image is dark gray to black, with a shadow cast by the jar on the lower right side.
